Yeah my insurance coverage is good, but they don't have nearly enough therapists on staff to keep up with demand, so it's not super beneficial. I quit going because I could only ever get in once a month or so and it was frustrating to try to work through something major on that time frame. I want to go full grippy socks, every day intensive therapy at this point but, you know, I gotta eat, so I'm not sure that's really an option.

I don't think I'd kill myself because I'd feel obligated to make sure all my stuff was disposed of first so no one had to deal with it, and it's less energy to keep surviving at this point.

Depending on your income you might be eligible for Medicaid. That'll pay for everything. I didn't have any insurance at the time. A nurse woke me up at somepoint and hooked me up with Medicaid. She saved my ass. And then i spent a couple weeks wearing grippy socks. Maybe it could be beneficial to dive in and get help at the hospital.

But don't hurt yourself to do it.

I understand 100% where you're coming from.

Make a long term self improvement plan. That's my real advice. That's what's helped me.
